Aaron Antonovsky, whom I consider to be one of the fathers of positive psychology, if you remember, came up with the notion of "salutogenesis", an alternative to the pathogenic model- pathogenic model, the model that focuses on pathology, on sickness, on illness, where what Antonovsky said is we need to focus on the origins of health. Saluto- health; genesis- origin.
安東諾維斯基，我把他看作幸福心理學的奠基人之一。如果你記得，就會想起“健康本源學”，病理模型的替代，就是那個專門講病理學和疾病的模型。安東諾維斯基說我們要關注的是健康的始源，Saluto是健康，genesis是本源。
And what he did specifically was the following.
他的具體做法如下。
So he was a sociologist and he said the following- he said: look, life is tough. People go through hardship. They go through difficulties whether we like it or not, we all in life encountered hardships. In relationship, in school, at work whatever, whichever domain, there are hardships, there are difficulties. Life is hard. Period. We know that.
他是個社會學家，他說：生活是艱苦的，人們都在艱苦奮斗，無論愿意與否，我們都會遇到困難。生活中，我們遇到各種困難，戀愛中、上學時、工作中都有困難與挫折的存在。總有時候生活是艱苦的，大家都知道。
However, there are some people who are able to better deal with the hardship, with the difficulties, who still, despite- they don't do away these hardships- despite these hardships and difficulties are still able to lead a full, fulfilling and overall, happy life.
然而，有些人對困難和挫折處理得更好，他們盡管不是沒遇到這些困難，就算常遇到困難和挫折他們仍能過上充實、滿足且幸福的生活。
Not the constant high- that's reserved for psychopaths and dead people.
不是指那種精神病患者或死人的那種永恒的快樂，
With the same ups and downs, but at a higher level of wellbeing, or of a lower level of anxiety.
而是有高低起伏，但是更高層次的幸福，或者說是一個焦慮水平比較低的生活。
